Oops! I forgot!
Hello Blog World,
I had officially forgotten about my blog until a friend of mine asked me to look at pictures on her blog. Wow! Oh yeah! I used to blog too! Here are some updates:
1. My Etsy store is still up and moving along. Things have slowed but they do that during the start of spring. I plan on having more photo prop hats up soon but I've been really busy...read on.
2. I'm in my 4th Masters' class at this time. I can't believe how intense these classes are. I feel overwheled most days but I love what I'm learning. I'm just hoping all this work will end up in extra money when I'm done.
3. We are now 24 weeks pregnant! We start our 3rd trimester in just another week. I am having so much fun this pregnancy. It is nothing like my first pregnancy with my son Nathan. We are having another Boy! I'm excited. I would have liked to have had a girl this time BUT I know having two boys will be a ton of fun. I don't have any belly pictures yet but I plan on getting on that.
4. Work - we will leave this out of this blog. I'm having too good of a day to think about it. :)
That's about it...well it seems that way. We've been so busy it's all sort of a whirl wind. Hopefully I remember to post again before we have the baby :)

It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year...
It has been a very busy holiday season! This year we're traveling to see my parents in Nevada. We'll spend a few days in San Diego for Christmas and then come back to Nevada. It's a little sad, as I wont get to see any friends or other family in California, but at least it will be time with the family who I never get to see.
We decided to take a plane after much thought and planning. Actually, it was a complete surprise that we wouldn't be driving but I believe things happen for a reason and when our plans to drive fell through I took it as a sign. Flying will be easier, shorter, and we get to spend even more time with the family. All 13 days can be spent with family instead of 6 of them just in driving time (3 there and 3 back). I'm not sure how to get all these presents with us but we'll get it done. Just have to take less clothes or something. LOL.
My Etsy shop has actually been busy even though I haven't spent much time on it. Honestly I've not advertised or done much for the last 4 months. I still get about an order a week which I'm thankful for. The extra cash is nice, especially around the holidays. I haven't done anything new or exciting which is why I haven't posted any pictures. Actually, I did make a few really cute hats for a cousin of mine. I wish I had taken pictures of those but I didn't.
Pregnancy is going well. We're at 14 weeks. It's amazing how fast it is all going!! I can feel the baby from time to time but still very light. Nothing too crazy. I'm craving orange juice like crazy and really enjoy breakfast food rather than anything else...besides chocolate. I love anything sweet.
I've still been sick to my stomach but it is getting better. Overall this pregnancy is much easier than my first. No passing out, no high blood pressure (yet), no real issues besides the morning sickness. Oh, and I'm already popping out. It's pretty funny to be out of all my clothes already but lucky for me my mom sent a gift card for some new clothes before the holiday season. I'm just an early show-er. I was with Nathan and it's even worse this time. :)
The season has been busy but it's all been fun. Once it is vacation time things will be even better.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS! Whatever your religion or beliefs, may it be a time of love and laughter!

Snowriffic
We're supposed to be getting a blizzard this evening. 6-18 inches which is a pretty wide range. I love how weather people can be that vague and still get paid. It's like me saying "we will get between 100 and 10,000 units out today" Just isn't acceptable that way is it? However, I guess that's why they get paid the big bucks...and I do not.
Today we heard the baby's heartbeat for the first time. We are at 13 weeks and SO EXCITED. Hearing the heartbeat always makes it that much more real. I started crying and I could tell Mike was 100x more relieved now that we could hear it. Best sound ever.
Well, here is to the blizzard. We shall see how bad it actually gets. Hopefully not to bad and people show up to work tomorrow.

Thanksgiving Day Wrap Up
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving even though the gathering was small. Mike's parents, Nathan, Mike, and I were all that got together but it was all very yummy and a lot of fun. To start off the day we went to Timbers, a local restraunt for breakfast. Heck...we were going to cook all day! Why not eat out for Breakfast? Thanksgiving is also mine and Mike's "dating anniversary". We've been together 8 years this year.
After breakfast we decided to go to the house and get ready for Thanksgiving lunch! Yes, this day is all about food for us. Nathan decided to put on his Thanksgiving Day hat! It's a Turkey, if you couldn't tell. He was all ready for Thanksgiving!
We spent the day eating and playing games. It was a good time over all. These next pictures are of Nathan, Mike, and Grandpa playing bean bag toss which ended up being a who can hit who the most!

Good Children's Book Recommendation
The Very Cranky Bear
Just a few weeks ago my little preschooler came home with his first Scholastic sheet and order form. I could remember being so excited about ordering books when I was in school that I HAD to give in and buy a few for Nate. I decided to let him pick out some and he circled everything. So, we went with The Very Cranky Bear by Nick Bland and the "If You Give a Mouse A Cookie" set. He'll get the set for Christmas but I let him have the The Very Crank Bear now.
This book is AWESOME. I just read it to my 4 year old dude and he LOVED it. Daddy even played out the story and acted as the VERY CRANKY BEAR himself. It was a good time. I loved the illustrations and the story was fun. Highly recommend it for other little dudes and dudettes :)

www.peopleofwalmart.com
Alright, so there's this website that I've been INSANE about for the last week. www.peopleofwalmart.com It makes me happy to think that at least I'm not going around this crazy. I also think at least THESE PEOPLE aren't working for me right now.
This site makes me happy with awards like "best pimp coat". I think that everyone should visit once a day to put life in perspective.
This picture is my favorite at the moment

I'm reminded of a Macy Grey concert I went to one time. She had a get up like this on except it was more like a pink and black checked table cloth. I love that women. Crack heads are awesome.
